    I've been thinking that while the LambdaMOO server is
    incredibly cool, it may be showing its age a bit. I've been
    toying around with creating a server, based very heavily on
    the parser.y file from LambdaMOO distribution.

    One of the features I thought might be nice is preemptive
    multi-tasking. I figure if I'm rewriting the server from
    the ground up there was a fantastic opportunity to modular-
    ise it and add significant features.

    Another feature built into the object classes and the
    object index is the idea that objects can be "Out of
    memory". I've already worked out a server level scheme for
    denoting an object lives on a different server.

    What I'd like is input from the MOO community. Is any one
    other than myself interested in something like this? What
    features would a new server HAVE to have before it would be
    worth using instead of LambdaMOO?

    One issue to note, I'm implementing this server in C++.
    Oddly enough, it's made life quite a bit simpler. Even
    other people have been able to understand how the system is
    designed.

    ciao...
